Our stay here was AMAZING. The room was lovely, big and clean with plenty of storage. Marilyn was a great host and nothing was too much trouble. The view is stunning and the beds where sooooo comfortable. All in all a wonderful place. Definitely going back next year ❤️

Booked here for the location and quality that never fails,full marks.Spacious clean rooms with amazing views from our balcony and full english breakfast next door,due to covid.Given full clear instructions when booking as to rules regarding safety,which was very reasuring.This helped our three night stay here knowing that your being looked after in a safe and secure way.The included carpark is at the "Villa Marina" and just a short walk nextdoor for your breakfast,which is very good and overall great value for this time of year and one which will see us return.........again.

Get again Villa Marina didn’t fail to impress; Marilyn & her team keep a beautiful establishment. Our room was very comfortable, the view from the balcony wonderful. Who doesn’t love listening to waves as you drift off to sleep 💤 .

We stayed for one night at the Villa Marina. The hotel is separate but linked to the redcliffe hotel next door. We had breakfast included and this was served in the Redcliffe, which was just a very short walk away. The Villa Marina was very clean and comfortable. It was thoughtfully decorated to a high standard. Our room was on the ground floor and opened up onto a terrace, where you could sit outside. Tea and coffee was provided in our room, along with complementary shower gel, shampoo and soap. Towels were also included. Our room had a wonderful sea view and we woke to hear the waves breaking outside.
Breakfast included cereals, fruit and yoghurt, toast and a choice of cooked from the menu. I had a vegetarian breakfast which was really nice. My partner had a full English breakfast and said it was really good. Marilyn was very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend.

A stay at any hotel/b&b requires a number of factors for a customer to give a top review. The main points are listed in the title and I will go through these one by one but I thought to start with, I would give you some background. I have been in business for a number of years and have stayed in many hotels and bed & breakfasts to give what I believe to be a valued opinion of the qualities required. I have stayed myself at the Villa Marina in Paignton in the past. I have also stayed in a number of other hotels in Paignton and Torquay. These were not usually for business purposes but for some relaxation from the Rat Race. As you can guess from this review I obviously like Paignton and Torquay after spending many happy times their from being a small child to someone now fast approaching 50. This stay was not mine but my future mother in law’s stay,
Me and my fiancée were staying in our touring caravan in nearby Brixham however it would be a little to tight having Mom in law in the caravan with us. As we were going to Torquay to measure and review our new house, I was asked what would be the best hotel for Mom in laws stay. I recommended the Villa Marina in Paignton and it was not to disappoint. Now mom in law is disabled for a start and would need perhaps some extra attention.
Customer service starts with booking.
The Villa Marina was not to disappoint. I searched on the Internet for the Villa Marina website and my fiancée called and spoke to Marilyn to arrange the booking, we were very happy with the attention to detail that Marilyn shown on the booking.
We were very happy that we knew that Mom in law would be in safe and caring hands.
Customer service during her stay
During her stay Marilyn and Julie the cleaner could not have been more helpful. One of the mornings we booked for us all to have breakfast and we were greeted by Steve with a smiling face and nice conversation.
Cleanliness overall and in rooms
Mom in law was very happy with her room, and it overlooked the beach in Paignton. I can say from authority that the Villa Marina has the best location of any hotel in Paignton. We extended our stay in the area which then increased mom in laws stay at the Villa Marina. There weren’t any problems with booking extra days although Mom in laws room was already booked out. The staff kindly moved her so that she didn’t have to do anything to her new room that was a sea view across towards Torquay. The cleanliness of both rooms was spotless as it was in the rest of the hotel.
The breakfast
The breakfast was excellent with a good choice on what you could have to eat and drink, everything was served in a timely fashion and again in a very presentable fashion.
Overall
Altogether Steve & Marilyn certainly know how to operate such a business and in the future we will have no hesitation booking mom in law in while we have work done on our new house in Torquay. I would like to thank Steve, Marilyn & the Julie for making mom in law so welcome, comfortable, looking after her and going way above and beyond the call of duty it was totally appreciated. It allowed us not to be concerned about her wellbeing while we were there.

This was a beautiful seaside home built for the founder of modern dance Isadora Duncan. We have stayed here during the last week in June for the last few years to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it would be unthinkable for us to stay anywhere else in Torbay. The dining room overlooks the sea and is beautifully peaceful. The breakfast is consistently delicious with a good choice of cereals and full English fare. I cannot praise highly enough the owners Marilyn and Steve, who are always so friendly and accommodating, even with people like us who can't book in advance for family reasons, even to the point of moving us around the various rooms should we wish to extend our stay as we invariably do. The bedrooms are superb, spotlessly clean and fresh, and the view are to die for. Going to sleep to the sound of the sea is truly fantastic. Just got back home from another wonderful stay, thank you again Marilyn and Steve. Well done! Hope to be back again very soon.

Villa Marine is situated on the end of the Beach, with balconies. We chose this Hotel for that reason. We were welcomed by Marilyn who showed us to our room, (the one with the dome) It is a very pretty room, very large and comfortable, lots of space for clothes, and a 3 sided mirror and a plug socket in the perfect position to do you hair! The bed was comfortable, having the door open all night listening to the waves was fantastic, however, not so good for the seagulls in the morning. The room and bathroom was spotless, a selection of tea and coffee were on offer. Breakfast was served by Steve, and was cook perfectly, a selection of cereals and toast, tea or coffee. There is a totally relaxed atmosphere here, and the decor is lovely. You are a stones throw from the beach.

The Villa Marina has been our home from home for the last few years, we visit Paington at least twice a year, and this hotel cottage by the sea shore is where we always stay. Terrific location, great views over Torbay, open the back gate and you are on beautiful sands. The staff knows us by name, very friendly and helpful, breakfast is always freshly cooked, with good quality ingredients. It's the one and only for us, very highly recommended...you will not be sorry!!
